Out Friday Ibaka (illness) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers

Impact Ibaka holds a depth role in the frontcourt and has averaged just 11.4 minutes per game this season, which means Bobby Portis could be in line for a larger role. Ibaka's next chance to play will come on Sunday against Dallas.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Ibaka (illness) is likely out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Stephen Watson of Bally Sports reports.

Questionable versus Cleveland Ibaka is questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Ibaka could miss his second game in a row after not playing in Wednesday's game against Chicago. If Ibaka can't play Friday, his next opportunity will be Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Produces in limited minutes Ibaka recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and nine rebounds over 19 minutes during Friday's 111-93 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Ibaka is averaging a career-low 11.6 minutes per game, and that's enough reason to avoid him in all fantasy formats, but he might be in line for a few more minutes off the bench given the absences of players such as Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle), Jrue Holiday (ankle) and others. This was his best game of the season, but he should remain a non-factor long-term.

Logs six minutes Friday Ibaka ended with two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one block across five minutes during Friday's 119-108 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Ibaka barely saw the floor in the victory, something that is becoming a bit of a trend. While he does provide the Bucks with a veteran presence off the bench, it appears as though he is going to be used sparingly, if at all. Barring an injury to Brook Lopez and/or Bobby Portis, Ibaka's days of being a fantasy-relevant player are well behind him.

Set to return Wednesday Ibaka will be available for Wednesday's preseason game versus the Nets, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Ibaka missed Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bulls due to rest. However, the veteran center should be ready to play Wednesday and for the regular-season opener Oct. 20.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Tuesday Ibaka (rest) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game versus the Bulls, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Milwaukee is giving Ibaka Tuesday off, considering the team has another preseason game Wednesday versus the Nets. The veteran center also played 15 minutes in Saturday's preseason game versus the Hawks. There is no indication that Ibaka should miss any regular season action and should continue as the team's backup center.

Productive game in Abu Dhabi Ibaka tallied 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, a steal and a block in 17 minutes in a 123-113 loss Thursday against Atlanta in a preseason game in Abu Dhabi.

Impact Ibaka played 12 of his 17 minutes in the second half, scoring all 15 of his points and grabbing six rebounds in that time. The 33-year-old re-signed with the Bucks in July after being acquired by the team in a trade with the Clippers in February. After playing 17.8 minutes per game in his 19 regular season contests with Milwaukee, he appeared in just six playoff games, playing a combined total of 20 minutes. The veteran is likely to serve in a backup role this season, finding time at forward and center behind Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis.

JULY 5, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Staying with Milwaukee Ibaka and the Bucks agreed to terms Monday on a one-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ibaka was acquired by the Bucks via trade in February and saw decent minutes as a reserve during the regular season, but he wasn't much of a factor in head coach Mike Budenholzer's playoff rotation. Now that he'll be back with the franchise for another season, however, Ibaka should retain his reserve role behind Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis for 2022-23. In 54 appearances with the Clippers and Bucks last season, Ibaka averaged 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds over a career-low 16.2 minutes per contest.
